President-elect Donald Trump has been named Time magazine’s Person of the Year for the second time following his election victory. The award was given to Trump for his significant role in redefining the US presidency and for his influence in altering America’s global standing, according to Time editor-in-chief, Sam Jacobs.

Trump participated in an in-depth interview with Time journalists, discussing a wide range of topics including inflation, foreign affairs, abortion, and transgender rights. During the interview, he acknowledged the difficulty of reducing inflation and discussed his intentions to handle the Jan. 6 defendants on a “case-by-case” basis once he assumes office.

Regarding his controversial nomination of Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz for attorney general, Trump stated that while he believed Gaetz would have secured the votes, the effort didn’t seem worthwhile. He also criticized Vice President Kamala Harris for not engaging more with the press during the campaign.

Trump expressed his disapproval of the release of Project 2025 during the campaign, a conservative blueprint for his second term. He disagreed with certain parts of the project and felt its release complicated his election campaign.

The President-elect also addressed the issue of transgender rights, expressing his belief that the controversy over which bathrooms transgender people should use has created division in the country. He further discussed his plans to use the military to facilitate mass deportations, his appointment of Elon Musk to the Department of Government Efficiency, and his intentions for brokering peace in the Middle East.

Overall, Trump’s interview with Time magazine offered a comprehensive insight into his views on a variety of pressing issues, setting the stage for his upcoming term in the White House.
